nRF24L01+ ground die pad

[Philip]

Hi, I am creating a PCB design and am not sure if I should connect the pad under the nRF24L01+ to the ground plane with a couple of vias.

The data sheet says it should be left unconnected, however it then later shows an example where the ground die pad is connected to the ground plane with 3 vias? A bit confusing.

Has any one else come across this? A few examples I have looked at seem to connect the pad underneath to the ground plane using vias.

Thanks

Phil

Thanks for the reply JT.

That makes sense, although why not just not remove the via's so that you can solder to the pad for mechanical strength?

Maybe people have found it solders better without solder on the centre pad.
